Wheeler students are Leaders of the PACK! As leaders they follow expectations for a positive attitude and good behavior in all areas of the school. They Participate, Achieve, Cooperate and Know that they can! Our mascot for this positive behavior incentive program is Frankie T. Wolf!

The staff includes 28 certified teachers, a school nurse, a school psychologist, a social worker, and 19 non-certified staff. The majority of staff have many years of experience in education and work hard to ensure that students make progress in all academic areas. Each school year brings the promise of new learning in mathematics, science, social studies and, of course, reading and writing. In addition, there are many opportunities for children to explore and learn in the classroom, on field trips, and during after-school activities.

The School Learning Plan at Wheeler School focuses on three goals for improvement in reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics particularly in estimation, measurement and problem solving.

Parents of Wheeler School students are committed to a quality education for their children and participate in many ways. Parents attend conferences with teachers and various school events. They volunteer in classrooms and serve on committees at the school and district level. The Wheeler PTO is an organization that actively supports the education of students and provides opportunities for student enrichment and family events. During the past year events included a book fair, December Holiday party, game nights, Fall Festival, May Fair or a New Britain Rock Cats game, and numerous fundraisers.
